It has been weeks since I started working in a new environment. The core business it does is printings and well, sometimes it accepts some simple designs. However, if it were some kind of complicated design, charges shall be imposed or either way, you have to design it yourself.
Having been dealing with people of different races, I found out that different races do behave differently. Here are those races illustrations I have concluded from my recent study on them (basically base on my experience on them)
JapaneseThey are hard to deal because of the fact that they have
no low EQ. Despite the impression on how awesome they achieve in Japan, it surprises me to see a Japanese throwing a tantrum when things don't go they way. They can't even communicate well. The first thing they do is blurt something out from their mouth and I don't know what they talking about. Their English sucks and I can't figure out what he is trying to say in hostile tone. Complains are their only solutions and he even complains to my boss about me being a bad worker. Funny thing is he wants the background to be blue and he pronounces it as "poo!!" Hahaha... "What is this?! I don't want this!!! I want this poo!!!". The original design I made is ok but not really astonishing but after he insists on change the color of the background, it does look like poo to me now.
One Saturday noon, my cute MuZhu accompanies me for a walk around Isetan inside KLCC and we sensed this weird odor coming out upstair so we went up to check it out. It's a Japan Fair'09 and some Japanese were selling some food at there and still, the smell is not so pleasing to our nose. We saw some dango in one of the stalls and my MuZhu want to buy some of them so she pointed on the dango to imply she wanted those. However, the Japanese scolded us and told us "Don't Touch!!!" I was pretty piss off for the way he treats my MuZhu and I do conclude that this is the way Japanese treat their customers so I just left the stall and not even giving him a shit. When we go out, we saw that actually the local Malay were the one who did all the cooking and that Japanese? He only know how to chase away his customers.
Malay/IndiaThey are very easy-going to deal with. Sometimes, they will joke around with you and chat with you while you doing the design for them. Surprisingly, they are really patient and communicate with us well about what they truly want which eventually make the job easier to be done in a really short time.
ChineseBasically, they don't even know what they want and the most obvious traits about them is the price. They will ask the price and keep on bargaining with you. I like to tell them to give up the idea about bargaining the price with me. I might work here but I'm not the boss. No matter how you plead me or lick my boot, I just can't cut the price for you. It's already fix, dude so please cut the crap with the price haggling.
Another thing is they don't know they truly want, which is really really annoying and I hate it. The common thing they say is "Up a bit, down a bit, left a bit, right a bit etc." In overall, it just make no difference.
CaucasianSome of them have really bad breath - smell like liquor that you vomit out. Eww.... Disgusting. They never keep their words too - the thing they say a minute ago will be different from what he say now. Most of the times, they only know to rise their voices which solved nothing at all.
